Mezzmo Trailer Checker

[jbinkley60]

An updated version of the Mezzmo Trailer Checker (v0.0.21) has been uploaded to GitHub. This new
version fixes a minor bug and has some minor updates.

v0.0.21 fixes and features:

• Updated yt-dlp.exe to eliminate 404 error messages
• Fixed minor bug detecting 1080P / 49k audio format (140/139)
• Added logging of fetch and trailer formats results commands to logfile for
easier troubleshooting


To get started please review the Getting Started page on the Wiki. The current version of the Mezzmo Trailer Checker is v0.0.21 can be downloaded here.

It is highly recommended to do a backup of your Mezzmo database before using the tool and the Mezzmo GUI and server service need
to be stopped in order for it the checker to write to the Mezzmo database. This is a protection mechanism to ensure just one application is writing
to the Mezzmo database at a time.

The release notes for the various releases can be found here.

I added a couple of Wiki pages with step-by step instructions and screenshots on how to use the Mezzmo Trailer Checker with Mezzmo to automatically
add local trailers and how to edit / update them. I hope you will find these very helpful. I have begun a FAQ Wiki page (Frequently Asked Questions) with
some of the most common questions related to running the tool with Mezzmo. The FAQ has a number of Kodi specific questions.

The tool has been working very well for me, especially since the fixes in v0.0.3. I find myself watching more movies in my Mezzmo / Kodi library due to the
the Mezzmo Movie Previews feature and local trailers I have Mezzmo Movie Previews set to 3 previews. Now I get 3 random trailers from the release year
of the movie which haven't been watched in my library, then the main movie starts. It's an almost movie theater-like experience..

Questions and feedback are welcome.

An updated version of the Mezzmo Trailer Checker (v0.0.24) has been uploaded to GitHub. This new version has a couple of new key features.
First is an automatic updater for the yt-dlp.exe YouTube downloader. Now each time the Mezzmo Trailer Checker is run it will check for an
update. Second, a very nice new option to limit only fetching TMDB YouTube trailers. Mezzmo, by default adds all TMDB videos including
trailers, shorts, clips, featurettes and more. This option removes everything except TMDB YouTube trailers from Mezzmo. Please note the
additional config file option for this TMDB Trailer Only feature.

v0.0.24 fixes and features:

• Fixed typo on statistics output
• Updated yt-dlp.exe to eliminate warning messages
• Added automatic yt-dlp.exe update checking/updating to the latest version
• Added option to only fetch TMDB YouTube trailers and ignore featurettes,
video clips, shorts etc..

An initial test release of the Mezzmo Trailer Checker in an exe format for Windows
x64 platforms has been posted on GitHub as version 0.0.25 test..

I would appreciate some users testing this format. If you are currently using the native
Python version, just download the zip file and extract the trailer_checkerr.exe file into
the same folder as the trailer_checker.py file.

You should then be able to run the Mezzmo Trailer Checker like normal using the exe
format vs. the .py format.


Feedback is welcomed.


Thanks,

Jeff
